only thing I got very frustrated is that site is very bad produces
bad usability and too many questions,
when I want to hear some music I want it ASAP and they’ve asking me ton of personal info, which they could after I download and donate

@J-Ro
yes, older people follow internet, I helping some of them to get know how to use it, I mentioned older people because todays kids almost don’t know for any other media type except mp3 and stuff

this is good direction, but only that worries me that if internet keeps giving this freedom politics would make it more restrictive like
they would want to fight back

I’m happy for Radiohead. I think it’s a travesty that the bands can’t keep more of their money. Heaven only knows the price they paid to get there. When you heard stories a couple of years ago when a CD cost $18.98 $15.99 discounted and that the band only got $1.34 I think it was and expenses taken out of that. So that in reality the music company kept all their money and they get to keep only their money from touring. Which has to be very hard work. Anyway, if there is anyone who has hard verifiable statistics, I sure would like to hear them.

First there was the complaints about Bps- the down load was only 160 bps vs 460 bps on a CD. Then there were complaints about the songs disappearing from the download site, mysteriously. Then came the news that only half of the 1.2m people paid for the album- now it is that 500,000, then later 500M (are there 500M radiohead fans?) downloaded the album illegally on P2P sites, since they found the instructions on their site too difficult to follow.

Are these news snippets from the record industry, spreading fear as a retallation against the band? I am all for the concept- bypass the record companies who add no value to the music of established bands.

I downloaded the album in 2 minutes, I have it on my Ipod and am enjoying the heck out of it- Oh yeah, I paid $10 for it too. Good money spent…

To me this seems like a win-win. I’m not sure the Internet holds too many age bounderies anymore. Just look at classical music, with a huge Internet following of fans of all ages.
